She’s Back: Clinton to Fundraise With Possible 2020 Dems in May

The 2016 presidential nominee will be tied in with possible 2020 presidential candidates when they host a DNC fundraiser together in May.

Note to Sens. Kamala Harris (D-CA) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), and former Secretary of State Jason Kander (D-MO): you’ll be tied to Hillary Clinton if you run for president in 2020.

All three are fundraising with the divisive former secretary of state and presidential nominee in May, according to a BuzzFeed News report published Friday.

A set of likely presidential candidates will join their party’s last nominee, Hillary Clinton, to raise money for the Democratic National Committee next month at its annual Women’s Leadership Forum.

California Sen. Kamala Harris, New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, and former Missouri secretary of state Jason Kander will speak at the May event in Washington, the second major fundraising effort by the DNC this year, following last month’s ““IWillVote Gala.”

Given Clinton lost the 2016 election to an even more divisive – and, at times, more unpopular – candidate, it’s a questionable decision for 2020 hopefuls to hitch their wagon to Clinton.

It’s unlikely we’ll see video from the event, but it’s possible Clinton reprises her sing-song “I’m back” when she visits with high-dollar Democratic National Committee (DNC) donors.
